Just looking thru some old photos, and found some from Thunder Over Michigan 2001. I believe back then it was called the "Gathering of Fighters". Interesting mix of aircraft, including a local cargo B747.
P-40
WWI Fighters
F-18
Old Crow

Thanks for posting. Wow even see the Kalitta 747 in the background. Was there much of an airshow back then or did the planes just park on static display? |

from what I recall, it was just a gathering of static airplanes...I could be wrong. It's amazing how this show has grown, and all the cool airplanes that have been part of it.

That was a great show..first time I ever saw the CAF Helldiver. I always thought that "Aleutian Tiger" P-40 was stunning. Whatever happened to that particular aircraft? SN |

I actually like the P-40 painted that way. |

That P-40 looks awesome with the shark mouth. I have a cast iron model of one in that paint scheme. I am also very partial to the mustang. Very pretty warbird. |
